I was informed of a Lewis's Woodpecker that has been a regular at a bird
feeder at a farm 19km on Hwy 617 north of Stratton -a small town on Hwy 11
between Fort Frances and Rainy River in Northwestern Ontario. The bird
showed up on or about May 12, I observed and photographed it on May15.
(sorry for the delay in posting) Let me know if you are planning to see the
bird and I will provide a more precise location and find out if it's still
there. The property owners said that they would not object to people
dropping by to look at it.
They have a pretty good feeder, other birds included:
Sparrows: Chipping, Clay-coloured (1), song, savannah, white-crowned and
throated, Harris's (lots of these moving through right now).
Red-winged and Yellow-headed blackbird (1)
Evening and Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Purple finch, goldfinch, and a few other common spp.
Lots of sparrows moving through right now, other migrants recently arriving
in the area, Palm and Myrtle warbler, hermit thrush -just noticed in my
yard, haven't been birding.
